Offshore Wind Conference 2023 About the Event

The global spotlight is firmly on offshore wind. In Scotland, a short term pipeline of 6.9GW and the staggering ScotWind results have outlined the scale of things to come. At the Offshore Wind Conference 2023, Scottish Renewables will bring together experts from across industry, supply chain and stakeholders to review the state of our offshore wind ambitions.

Many projects are on the horizon, including those coming from the Innovation and Targeted Oil & Gas (INTOG) process and the emergence of green hydrogen, which offers a new avenue to decarbonise our energy system. Our programme will focus in particular on bringing together a diverse set of voices, and on exploring the big challenges facing our growing offshore sector. In addition, our new supply chain focused sessions and events will provide companies with the information they need to grow their businesses in offshore wind.

The Offshore Wind Conference 2023 kickstarts another year of dedication to delivering our offshore wind goals and ensuring it is the technology at the forefront of the energy transition. 

You’ll learn:

• The latest news and views from stakeholders at the heart of offshore wind discussions 
• How to access supply chain opportunities and who to engage with to grow your offshore wind business line
• How consenting and grid challenges are being addressed by industry and government initiatives
• The latest work going on to maximise opportunity for Scottish ports and manufacturing, deepening the energy transition and supporting green hydrogen ambitions

Why attend? 

Thanks to ScotWind Scotland remains firmly on the map as an offshore wind leader particularly in establishing commercial-scale floating wind. This means the pipeline of projects and opportunities for businesses of all scales and experience are vast. This conference will bring together senior industry figures to discuss how we can deliver successful offshore wind projects with maximum positive economic and environmental impact. From thought-leadership to practical supply chain advice, we’ll set the agenda for the year ahead.

Who should attend?

This sell-out conference is essential for those keen to play a role in offshore wind deployment in Scotland. From developers and Tier 1 suppliers to smaller businesses and innovators across the supply chain, this event is an opportunity to gain insights and intelligence from all parts of the sector. For all those working on the energy transition in the North Sea, and from fixed-bottom to floating foundations, our programme and networking opportunities will work for a diverse energy audience. And for those working on research, ecology and energy policy, we will draw together all these essential themes in our review of barriers to ambition.
